Freddie Sears was happy with his goal for West Ham in their friendly victory over Thurrock.

It was the England U19 international's first appearance this preseason and he told whufc.com: "It was good to get on the scoresheet in my first game back for West Ham.

"The match was a good run-out for me, I was able to play out a full 90 minutes. I am feeling good - I played three games in a week for England so another match now has helped me out and with just a few weeks to go before the start of the season, I just want to be involved as much as I can. We have some more pre-season friendlies coming up - so if I can play a part in those games, that means I can work to be as sharp as I can for the start."
